eGo/Riva Cones and 901 Attys

[justboringsarah]

Got an eGo yesterday and I'm still trying to decide if I like it. I also bought the adapters to use my 901 attys. I've noticed though that with the cone on the atty is a really hard draw and barely produces vapor. I've had the same result with 3 different attys now. Is the hard draw in my hard,or does the cone restrict the airflow too much for 901 attys

The cone does have an effect on how the atty works, so you might want to leave it off......

I have a Joye eGo, and I'm using it with 901 attys from Totally Wicked. The draw is extremely easy, even with the cone.......actually easier than the Joye 510 attys I have. So, I'm guessing it's your attys. Hope this helps.

I don't think it's the attys,they draw great without the cones,but I even switched out the cones and it's too hard comfortably draw with them on.
Since Riva makes a 901 model,would trying a Riva cone make any difference?

Hi Sarah, I'm glad to see this brought up. I was a 901 user for 8 months and then switched to the Riva. I got an adaptor for my 901 atti, but had a problem with juice leaking at the base of the atti, so I just kinda gave up and used the 510 attys. But I miss my 901 flavor and I find the 510 to be a much harsher vape. When I bought my Riva, I didn't know that they were available in the 901 style. When my 510 Riva dies I will be buying the 901. Hopefully by that time there will be someone on the forum who will have tried both and let me know what the difference is. It does seem that the Riva 510 cone is specifically designed to optimize the 510 atomizer, holding in the heat and warming the airflow. I'm wondering if the design of the Riva/eGo 901 optimizes IT'S design also. I would think that it would need to provide better airflow to do this. Anyone out there who has a Riva or eGo 901 I'd really like to hear from you.

The 510 is way to harsh for me,even after getting all the primer out it made me cough. I went back to 901 attys and just leave the cone off. It doesn't look as pretty,IMO but works pretty well

I really like using a lr 901 atty on my ego. I ran into the same problem. I found using the long adapter works really well with the cone. The 901 vent hole is above cone.
Also as tempting as it is, never stand up the 901 it will leak all over, you have to lay it down.
